My son's 2nd to the last tooth (on the bottom) fell out. how can he take care of the last tooth behind it? Since there's no tooth there it sometimes bleeds when he accidentally brushes there.

the gums could be irritated,or there could be peace of food stuck inbetween the gums and the tooth.Whatever it is he should keep brushing.Let him rinse with worm salt wather.Not too much salt.Glass of wather ,half of tea spoon salt.

he should not lick that area a lot because it would take longer for the tooth to grow back. You should let him mouthwash with salt and water for like a couple minutes and you should help him brush the last tooth but just taking a small toothbrush and brushing it by itself. i hope everything works out. if it doesn't you should go to a dental office, but your son should be okay.

bleeding is fine, as you are irritating inflamed gum tissue with a tooth brush. The toothbrush needs to clean awy the plaque to stop the inflammataion... so it is a bit of catch 22

HELLO, SWISHING WITH SALT WATER WILL HELP TO HEAL THE SITE WHERE THE TOOTH WAS LOST.
AS FAR AS TAKING CARE OF THE ONE BEHIND IT, HE CAN VERY SLOWLY BRUSH THAT LAST TOOTH AND TRY NOT TO AGGRAVATE THE HEALING SITE. GOOD LUCK.
